In a pre-marriage tradition, the bridegroom's parents visit the bride-to-be's family to request her hand and seek parental blessings. During this visit, the bride serves Turkish coffee, sometimes using salt instead of sugar in the groom's cup to test his character. If he drinks it without complaint, she views him as good-tempered and patient. Despite being the one making the proposal, etiquette requires the groom to accept this unique test graciously. Additionally, in some regions, coffee brewed without froth signifies "You have no chance!"
